We’ll depart early after breakfast—whether from Bludenz or St. Anton—taking a taxi to Partenen in the Montafon Valley. From there, the Vermuntbahn cable car and a thrilling tunnel bus ride carry us up to Bielerhöhe at 2,032 m (6,667 ft), where our alpine adventure begins. After dropping our bags at the overnight lodge and completing an avalanche safety refresher, we’ll set out to explore one of the region’s breathtaking valleys—such as Krommertal or Klostertal—depending on conditions, with highlights including Verhuptsspitze and the stunning Schneeglocke summit. Our guide will support newcomers in learning essential ski touring skills along the way. Evening is spent at one of the Alps’ finest lodges—after a hot shower and (in some lodges) a sauna, we’ll settle in for a delicious three-course dinner.
